    Poorly constructed housing

    The case is very poorly designed. Your motherboard just won't fit - you have to twist it a bit to put it in because the space for the CD drive is blocked (it's not removable).

    The spacers on my CM didn't screw in, the screw thread was too narrow and sometimes crooked.

    The power supply is fixed at the top and the whole thing is held together by a small metal support which does not reassure me.

    My CM: (Gygabite A520M DS3H)

    Seen from the outside the case is however very nice and it is one of the few that offer a CD player space.

    not recommended for configurations with large CG

    The product description states that there is room for 3 fans which is not true. There is an error on the LDLC product description sheet. The 3rd fan I bought on purpose could not be installed and was put aside in my boxes when my tower was delivered assembled by LDLC. This case claims to fit long CGs. But don't do that. It would be suicide. The CG suffocates in this case there is not enough space for air flow. Multiple crashes are to be expected with intensive use. A decent case for non-gaming use and with an entry-level graphics card.

    Very good

    Compact all-metal housing with ample interior space .... Affordable alternative for those wishing to avoid fragile glazing with a belly in the air as it is simple and effective.

    Cheap box for simple configuration

    Buy for the price, the brand and the ratings already obtained.
    It does its job perfectly. The fan provided is quiet.
    Easy to mount my small configuration (fanless power supply+CM+old i3+fanless video card+1SSD.
    This makes it a featherweight if you need to move it!
    For the 3'5 drives, there are elastic joints to limit the noise&vibration.

    well

    good box not too expensive and well finished
    has a usb2 and usb3 port on the front
    just needs filters but that would have been more expensive

    used for office, internet and other home applications it is perfect
